Rules and Conduct

The Services (including without limitation, any Content (defined below), documents or other information made available via the Services) are provided only for your own personal use and may not be used in connection with any commercial purpose(s) except as specifically approved in writing by JPG. Any unauthorized use of the Services is expressly prohibited. For purposes of these Terms of Use, "Content" shall include, without limitation, any text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, audio, music, videos, and/or interactive features accessible through the Services, including all Submissions.

As a condition of use, you promise not to use the Services for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms of Use, or any other purpose not reasonably intended by JPG. You agree to abide by all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations.

By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree not to (a) take any action or (b) upload, download, post, submit or otherwise distribute or facilitate distribution of any Content using any communications services related to the Services, that:

infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity or other right of any other person or entity;

imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on JPG's computing, storage or communications infrastructure, or attempts to gain unauthorized access to the Services, other accounts, computer systems or networks connected to the Services, through password mining or otherwise;

contains software viruses or any other computer codes, files, or programs that are designed or intended to disrupt, damage, limit or interfere with the proper function of any software, hardware, or telecommunications equipment or to damage or obtain unauthorized access to any system, data or other information of JPG or any third party;

impersonates any person or entity without his, her or its express written consent; or

involves commercial activities without the prior written consent of JPG.

You will not use any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means to access the Services for any purpose without JPG's express written permission. Additionally, you agree that you will not: (i) take any action that imposes, or may impose in JPG's sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on JPG's infrastructure; (ii) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Services or any activities conducted on the Services; or (iii) bypass any measures JPG may use to prevent or restrict access to the Services.

You shall not (and you shall not permit others to), directly or indirectly, modify, translate, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any part of the Services or any Content available at or through the Services (except to the limited extent applicable laws specifically prohibit such restriction); or copy, rent, lease, distribute, or otherwise transfer any of the rights that you receive hereunder. In addition, you shall not remove any proprietary notices or labels.

You may not harvest or collect information, including screen names, about other members or users of the Services. The use of any information learned through the Services is limited to the express purposes set forth in these Terms of Use; all other uses, including, without limitation, sending unsolicited bulk e-mail, are strictly prohibited.

JPG may remove any Content from the Services at any time for any reason (including, but not limited to, upon receipt of a claim or allegation from third parties or authorities relating to such Content), or for no reason at all.

JPG may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate your access to the Services should your conduct fail to conform strictly with any of the terms or conditions of these Terms of Use or with any provision of this section.

The Services allow you to upload your own photos, text and other Content ("Submission(s)") provided that you do so strictly in accordance with any instructions provided in the Services.

By uploading (or otherwise submitting) Submission(s) to the Services, you:

grant to JPG a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, limited license to use, publish, reproduce, display, distribute, use for Promotional Purposes (defined below), and sublicense for Cross-Promotional Purposes (defined below) such Submission(s), either through print, online, or other media (collectively, "Publicize");

represent and warrant to JPG that you are the original creator of the Submission(s);

represent and warrant to JPG that you own or otherwise control all rights to such Submission(s) and that use and disclosure of the Submission(s) by JPG (including, without limitation, Publicizing the Submission(s)) will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party; and

agree not to provide JPG with any confidential or proprietary information that you desire to or are required to keep secret.

JPG's foregoing right to Publicize your Submission(s) may only be revoked by you prior to JPG's decision to Publicize the Submission(s), which decision is made internally by JPG without notice to you. To revoke JPG's right to Publicize your Submission(s), JPG must receive written notice from you at support@jpgmag.com prior to its internal decision to Publicize your Submission(s). Therefore, if you wish to revoke JPG's right to Publicize your Submission(s), you must notify JPG immediately. Once JPG has made an internal decision to Publicize your Submission(s), you will no longer be able to revoke JPG's right to Publicize your Submission(s) and JPG will have no obligation to discontinue or prevent your Submission(s) from being Publicized. After JPG has received your written notice of revocation, JPG will have a commercially reasonable period of time to implement your request.

If your Submission(s) is/are selected by JPG to be published in JPG Magazine, you may be eligible to receive a cash or other reward if so specified from time to time by JPG on the Website. The reward is subject to change at any time without notice in the sole discretion of JPG. You will have no other right to monetary compensation in the event JPG Publicizes your Submission(s).

For purposes of these Terms of Use, "Promotional Purposes" shall be defined as use of a Submission expressly for the purpose of promoting JPG Magazine and jpgmag.com, including the Services provided therein. "Cross-Promotional Purposes" shall be defined as the sub-licensing of a Submission by JPG to a third party for the sole and express purpose of promoting JPG Magazine and jpgmag.com, and the Services provided therein, and/or such third party's promotional relationship with JPG Magazine and jpgmag.com. JPG will not, without additional notification, sub-license any Submission to any third party for any purpose other than that described in the immediately preceding sentence.

Registration

As a condition to some uses of the Services, you will be required to register with JPG and select a password and screen name ("JPG User ID"). You must provide JPG with accurate, complete, and updated registration information. You may not (i) select or use as an JPG User ID a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (ii) use as an JPG User ID a name subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization; or (iii) use as an JPG User ID a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene. JPG reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel an JPG User ID in its sole discretion. You are solely responsible for activity that occurs on your account and shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your JPG password.

These other websites are not under JPG's control, and you acknowledge that JPG is not responsible or liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness or any other aspect of such websites or resources. The inclusion of any such link in the Services does not imply endorsement by JPG or any association with its operators. You further acknowledge and agree that JPG shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, goods or services available on or through any third party website or resource.

Any third party such as a blogger or reviewer that seeks to reproduce a Submission without express written consent from JPG or the original creator of such Submission may do so (a) only in order to provide a link or other reference to the Website or JPG Magazine, and (b) only if the creator of such Submission is given artistic credit for his or her work within such link or reference. Any party that violates the aforementioned regulation shall be subject to legal action for the infringement of copyright and/or other proprietary rights, as applicable.

Termination

JPG may terminate your access to all or any part of the Services at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately.

Third party references or links to your account that are not under the control of JPG may persist beyond actual termination and deletion of your account. JPG is not responsible for such links, but upon receipt of notice at support@jpgmag.com that a problem exists, JPG will attempt to notify the source of the problem that the link is no longer active. All provisions of these Terms of Use which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, your representations and warranties, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
